Peter Saville is perhaps the most influential graphic designer of his generation. Best-known for his seminal record covers for Joy Division and New Order, Saville has also art directed catalogues and advertisements for fashion brands such as Yohji Yamamoto and Dior, and created corporate identities for Givenchy, Mandarina Duck and London's Whitechapel gallery. More recently he has designed CDs for Pulp and Suede, and art directed the print campaign for Stella McCartney.

'Designed by Peter Saville' is the first book of his work. Comprising design for music, fashion, advertising and art, it chronicles his design from 1978 to the present. The book includes a comprehensive interview by Christopher Wilson as well as essays by style writer Peter York, music critics Paul Morley and Miranda Sawyer, and design critics Rick Poynor, Emily King, and Peter Hall.

Saville was recently voted both 'most admired individual working in the creative industries' and 'best graphic designer' in a peer pool conducted by Creative Review. The intensity and apparent timelessness of his work has ensured his cult status for 25 years.
